Electric tuktuks could become a familiar sight on Bristol’s streets
A trial of an electric tuk-tuk used to service Voi scooters has begun in Bristol.
The zero emissions vehicle is being used to carry out regular service tasks which includes swapping batteries and maintenance.
In partnership with Biliti Electric, Voi has become the first e-scooter company in the UK to trial an all-electric tuk-tuk.
The four-month trial will see the three-wheeled vehicle support on-street maintenance within the city’s Clean Air Zone.
Voi UK & Irleland partnerships manager, Emma Hughes, said: “We’re delighted to be the first e-scooter company to partner with Biliti Electric as it recognises both companies’ industry-leading vision of creating cities free of pollution and congestion.”
Hughes said that the Voi team will be putting the tuk-tuk through its paces “as part of our commitment to continually innovating and finding new solutions to improve our service without harming the environment”.
